Be honest, no one knows who you are. Mine is but I am trying to fix it. I am a lifelong horder and collector and the junk and stuff just piles up all over.

yes it is!! However, I am currently working to correct the problem. I think my trash man hates me, the goodwill loves me, and my youngest son is beginning to despise me since I have been on a decluttering binge.

Absolutely, it is awful to the point I don't want anyone coming over. I have never been this bad. Began divorce proceedings a year ago and had to sort through things and separate things. Had to take pictures off walls, etc... now everything is just piled up everywhere. I can't get the time or energy to organize the house or do anything about it. I am trying to run a business, take care of my elderly mom, my recovering dog, and do outdoor work too now. I am about at the point, I could care less about the house. It isn't my priority.

No. I can't stand clutter. I religiously go through everything I have and relentlessly throw things away that have no significant meaning. If I buy new clothes, I pull some old ones out to donate them. I feel like my house stays cleaner and therefore I can focus and think clearly without all the mental distractions. all that stuff aroud sucks your energy subconsciusly. I used to save everything but I changed over the past few years. Check out the books "the joy of simple living" By Jeff Davidson (extreme!) and"Spirit of the Home" by Jane Alexander if you are interested in decluttering. These books helped me put things into perspective.

Absolutely not! This is NOT just a mess!
My clutter is either classified as "collectable" by this time or "useful" (at least until it rots, rusts or fades away) and the dust is a decorating style... I am going for the 'Gothic Castle' look and consider those spider webs in the rafters a theatric bonus!!
If you can't stay ahead of it, glorify it! Just get artistic with your piles. It's all a matter of perception!

Only my basement is, all the junk goes down there so no one can see it. The rest of the house, I try to keep clean and clutter-free. I find it too stress full to live in a house full of clutter and debris. I am not a hoarder either, I do a lot of donating things to charities. My motto is, if I haven't needed it in the last 6 weeks, then get rid of it, I don't need it. But, I do know, many hoarders, I have one friend who complains to me constantly about the mess in her living room all the time, and how she can't get rid of anything. She makes me nuts, sometimes! UGH! I don't know how to help her, I offer to organize her all the time, but she won't get rid of anything!

I am a neat freak. I have to dust the ceiling fan and mini blinds along with all the furniture atleast once a week. I am a compulsive vacumer and I bleach the tub and toilet every other day! My mom is OCD so I may have tendancies to be. But I dont feel bad if I skip a few days of cleaning...I just feel better when my house is clean and organized.

It sucks! But yeah, mine is bad too. We are just clutter junkies. It's dusty, but not with food lying around. We just have so much junk and my hubby never throws out anything that might be useful later. Actually, he brings stuff home from work that might serve a purpose eventually. What is really bad is that on many occaisions his stuff has actually saved us a bunch of money by allowing him to fix something with one of his "treasures". Oh well, at least I can still see my floor.

Four people living in a 2 bedroom house. The rooms are 10 x 10. Yes everything is cluttered and I have no idea how to organize everything.

I am in the midst of moving and boy if you asked me if I was a clutter person or a pack rat, I would have said no before today. Where did all these things come from and should I throw them out - I am still thinking of keeping all my clutter hahahaha. Oh well I may have a garage sale later on, its easier to pack it all up than to sort it out. Moving day is tomorrow. Yikes!

Yes it seems like a never ending battle with 6 kids here at home. Piles of everything. Today I just grabbed piles and am having a yard sale!

Mess just seems to multiply in my house...I work 12 hour shifts so I never have time to clean when I get home cause I'm absolutely exhausted and when I finally get to it, it soon gets messy again....don't ask me why. Every time I clear out bags and bags of garbage, I just wonder where it all came from, only to be doing the same thing 2 weeks down the line.
